About Sentinel Hub MCP Server

Connect to Sentinel Hub — the most powerful satellite imagery processing API in Europe — and transform raw Earth observation data into actionable intelligence.

Claude Code registers Sentinel Hub as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 14 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Sentinel Hub data drives decisions without human intervention.

What you can do

  • STAC Catalog Search — Discover available satellite scenes by location, date, collection, cloud cover, and MGRS tile ID across all Sentinel missions and Landsat
  • Image Processing — Render custom satellite imagery using evalscripts (JavaScript-based processing scripts) that define how bands are combined, indices are calculated, and pixels are colored
  • Vegetation Analysis (NDVI) — Generate ready-to-use NDVI evalscripts that color-code vegetation density from bare soil to dense forest
  • Statistical Analysis — Calculate mean, min, max, standard deviation, and histograms over areas of interest with temporal aggregation (daily, weekly, monthly)
  • Cloud-Free Search — Find satellite scenes below a specified cloud cover threshold for clean optical analysis
  • Band Combinations — Access a curated library of 10 predefined band combinations including True Color, False Color, NDWI, Moisture Index, SWIR, and Burn Severity

The Sentinel Hub MCP Server exposes 14 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

All 14 Sentinel Hub tools available for Claude Code

When Claude Code connects to Sentinel Hub through Vinkius, your AI agent gets direct access to every tool listed below — spanning satellite-imagery, earth-observation, geospatial-data, and more. Every call is secured with network, filesystem, subprocess, and code evaluation entitlements inside a sandboxed runtime. Beyond a simple connection, you get a full AI Gateway with real-time visibility into agent activity, enterprise governance, and optimized token usage.

catalog_search

Specify a collection ID (e.g., "sentinel-2-l2a", "sentinel-1-grd"), a bounding box as [west, south, east, north] coordinates, and a date range. Returns item metadata including geometry, cloud cover, and band information. Search the Sentinel Hub STAC catalog for satellite imagery

check_sentinel_hub_status

Returns the connection status and service URL. Use this to verify your client_id:client_secret credentials are working correctly. Verify Sentinel Hub API connectivity and authentication

generate_false_color_evalscript

In the output, healthy vegetation appears bright red, urban areas appear cyan/grey, and water appears dark blue. This is the standard false-color composite used in remote sensing for vegetation mapping and land cover classification. Generate a false-color evalscript for vegetation emphasis

generate_ndvi_evalscript

The output is color-coded: dark for water/shadow, grey for bare soil, yellow-green for sparse vegetation, and deep green for dense vegetation. Use the returned evalscript with the process_image tool. Generate a ready-to-use NDVI evalscript for vegetation analysis

generate_true_color_evalscript

Use the returned evalscript with the process_image tool to get visually appealing satellite photos of any location on Earth. Generate a true-color RGB evalscript for natural imagery

get_catalog_collection

Get detailed information about a specific data collection

get_catalog_item

Use the item ID returned from a catalog_search query. Get detailed metadata for a specific STAC catalog item

get_statistics

Requires an evalscript that defines which bands to analyze. Supports temporal aggregation (daily, weekly, monthly) for time-series analysis of vegetation indices, water levels, or urban expansion. Calculate statistics over an area from satellite imagery

get_user_info

Useful for verifying credentials and understanding available quotas. Get authenticated Sentinel Hub user profile information

list_band_combinations

Includes True Color, False Color (vegetation), NDVI, NDWI, Moisture Index, SWIR, SAR polarizations, Scene Classification, and Burn Severity (NBR). Each entry specifies the required bands and target collection. List predefined satellite band combinations and indices

list_catalog_collections

Includes Sentinel-1 GRD (radar), Sentinel-2 L1C/L2A (optical), Sentinel-3 OLCI/SLSTR, Sentinel-5P (atmosphere), Landsat 8-9, DEM, and Copernicus Land Monitoring Service data. List all available Sentinel Hub satellite data collections

process_image

Specify the data collection, area of interest as a bounding box, date range, and the evalscript. The evalscript defines band inputs, processing logic, and output format. Use generate_ndvi_evalscript or generate_true_color_evalscript tools to get ready-made evalscripts. Process satellite imagery with a custom evalscript

search_by_tile

MGRS tiles are the standard spatial reference for Sentinel-2 data (e.g., "33UUP" for central Europe, "29SQB" for Lisbon area). Returns all scenes for the specified tile within the date range. Search Sentinel-2 imagery by MGRS tile identifier

search_cloud_free

Essential for optical analysis where cloud contamination would corrupt results. Typical thresholds: <10% for clean analysis, <30% for general use, <50% for temporal coverage. Search for cloud-free satellite imagery below a threshold
